Russell Westbrook is the only player in NBA history with multiple scoring and assist titles.
One of the greatest players we’ve ever seen.

By now, DeMar DeRozan’s unexpected path to the Chicago Bulls during 2021 free agency is well documented. But approaching the one-year anniversary of his sign-and-trade acquisition from the San Antonio Spurs, DeRozan added a new layer of eloquence to the process during his appearance on “The Draymond Green Show.” On Green’s podcast, DeRozan detailed the depths of uncertainty that the process created for him when he didn’t initially sign with a team. Multiple reports at the time projected DeRozan to land with his hometown Los Angeles Lakers before that franchise pivoted to their acquisition of Russell Westbrook. -via NBC Sports / July 28, 2022

4th quarter net rating…
LeBron + AD + Westbrook: -13.0
2012 Bobcats: -11.8
The Lakers Small 3 was worse in the 4th quarter than a team that went 7-59.
But sure, huddle up and get the band back together baby!

If Russell Westbrook got traded to the Spurs, it would be a purely financial transaction.
San Antonio would get one or more picks at the cost of buying out his awful contract.
He wouldn’t suit up in Silver and Black, and that should be fairly obvious. – 3:20 PM

From the most recent Lowe Post some stats on Russ – he shot 44% (23/51) on corner 3’s, but doesn’t want to take them – 2nd game of the season, he set 8 screens for Lebron. After that, he didn’t set 2 screens until March of last szn 💀 #LakeShow -via Twitter / July 19, 2022
While the uncertainty of Westbrook’s future with the Lakers remains, the conversation was organized to make sure all three were on the same page as long as they’re joined together in their pursuit of a championship, sources said. Westbrook has never requested a trade from the Lakers, sources said. -via Yahoo! Sports / July 18, 2022
